<a name="id-1.3.10.11.2.11.4"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>Computes the polynomial remainder of a CRC run, assuming that <span class="emphasis"><em>buffer</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>byte_count</em></span> describe a memory block representing the polynomial dividend. The division steps are altered so the result directly gives a checksum, without need to augment the memory block with scratch-space bytes. The first byte is considered the highest order, going down for subsequent bytes.</p>

<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>Unaugmented-style CRC runs perform modulo-2 polynomial division in an altered order. The trailing <span class="emphasis"><em>Bits</em></span> number of zero-valued bits needed to extracted an (unprocessed) checksum is virtually moved to near the beginning of the message. This is OK since the XOR operation is commutative and associative. It also means that you can get a checksum anytime. Since data is being read byte-wise, a table of pre-computed remainder changes (as XOR masks) can be used to speed computation. </p></td></tr>
